It’s always nice to make a special cake for someone, but especially nice to make one for a friend. Mandy’s family hosted a beautiful afternoon tea for her birthday and I made this cake modeled on her pretty front garden. A small thank you for all her help in designing this website.

It’s also very satisfying to sit round a table listening to all the “yummy sounds” as everyone tucked into the cake.

This 60th birthday cake was very special indeed. Elspeth came up trumps with her own design. It tasted absolutely delicious – light, lemony sponge and a lovely chocolate icing – and looked just like my front garden! Everybody had a second piece.
